Hi,
So I've read here on the forum that the tilt lever is removed by turning couter clockwise? Is this correct, I cannot get this thing to budge. I have 2 columns and can't seem to get it off of either one.


Also how do you remove the cover that goes around the tilt and multifunction lever? I can't seem to figure out how it comes off, is there a trick to getting that off?

 

The tilt lever unscrews. The cover is removed by disassembling the whole column. It is actually the housing and not a cover.

 

I'll keep trying on the levers, they must just be really tightened down.

I had to go back out and look at the column again, I didn't mean to include the mutlifunction lever.

But the tilt lever appears to have cover that comes off, see pic.

Does this piece come off?
I need to fix the high beam linkage and I think it's all behind this cover. I really hope I don't have to disassemble the entire column to fix this

 

So is the whole tilt lever supposed to unscrew from the column? Or does just the end come off? On my parts column, I finally tried some vice grips on it, and the end came off.

That left an exposed metal piece, and I tried twisting that and it just started to bend. the part that goes into the actual column does not twist at all.

Is that right?

 

nevermind, I was able to get it off on my other column, but geeze do they make sure that those never come loose.
